The First And Last Rites
^^^^^
**Definition:**

* Where there’s some ritual/boilerplate at the start and end of most test bodies, suggesting a lack of common setup/teardown code

**Also Known As:**

* Oops I Forgot The Setup

**Code Example:**

.. code-block:: java

    @Test
    public void connectionWorks() {
        database = openDatabase();
    
        database.healthCheck();
    
        database.close();
    }
    
    @Test
    public void countRows() {
        database = openDatabase();
    
        assertThat(database.countAll())
        .isEqualTo(0);
    
        database.close();
    }
